Another outstanding shoot at this facility. Saturday saw 15 shooters on the line. All had a lot of work to do, but all showed great progress, and were attentive to the history as well.  We managed 2 AQT's by days, end, with on shooter making it "over the hump" with a 210..  Sunday saw 14 shooters return to the line.. we had a lively history discussion and managed 5 AQT's by the end of day. 4 more shooters joined the cadre, including a father/daughter duo, with many more students, close close close.. I'm confident they will continue on to finish their journey to Rifleman. 

Thank you to all the students, the host club, the instructors, and AGC for their hospitality and great facility!

It *was* an outstanding shoot! Even still, I think four of us and a few other recruits will be there in September and December as well for the Winterseed. (Will it count if there isn't snow?)

One thing we all forgot to grab from you though were the CMP certificates. Is there a way to get those via mail?

USMC#### was very helpful!  Though I somewhat confused that he didnt leave a wake of broken things behind him as has been my prior experience with Marines

The class was great, all of the instructors were top-notch, and the AGC facility was quite nice and accommodating.   This was Carla's first time shooting a rifle and she had a good time and learned a lot.

Beyond it having been a long time since I did much rifle shooting, I had gear issues (I brought a 22lr upper that had 5 rounds through it), but the various hats went above and beyond in trying to figure out what was wrong with my technique and gear and how to get me on target.

I embraced Step Seven early...  I'd built / tested myself a 10/22 LTR, and then immediately lent it someone  

Carla and I are planning on attending the one in September and maybe December.  This time, with a 22lr upper that is more like a rifle than a shotgun.  Got the gear bugs worked out now, so its all on me to clear those Redcoats!

Just figured I'd check in so everyone can see the numbers in my name! LOL

I can neither confirm nor deny that the numbers correspond to what my MOS (i.e. job) was in the Marines. And over the years I've worked around a lot of VERY expensive equipment, so I've learned to tone down the bull in the china shop routine... a bit. 

It was my first time calling the line. It was fun, but I was wondering by the end of Sunday if I'd still have my voice come Monday. It ended up being a little scratchy, but other than that, just fine.

Glad everyone had a good time. I hope everyone found it worthwhile and plan to attend another one in the future.
